The Time Of Cutting Chickens

We're sharing at a meal tomorrow, chicken. So the time of cutting chickens has come again.

The great mystery of cutting chickens continues to fascinate me. I would love to know precisely the right way to do it. The last time I did it by myself and didn't do too bad a job. This time I watched on one chicken, somebody else do it, but about had a nervous breakdown when I saw the knife going toward the hand. That can't be right.

There are joints where you can hit it precisely. Wiggle it here, wiggle it in the other place, then bring the knife through confidently, like a monk.

Someday I will know how. This is my vow!
